You have the right to recover the balance amount from the buyer. In case the buyer fails to pay the balance amount then he cannot compel you to make the property registered in his name. In case any legal action taken by the buyer, you can defend yourself on the grounds that the buyer failed to make half of the payment that was agreed for.
